The discovery and application of abstract musical properties has
had a prominent role in compositional and theoretical literature
during the past 40 years, and an accumulation of source material
has been produced that makes a single cross-referenced source
essential for standard working procedures. Abstract musical
properties, most often associated with analytical or compositional
systems, are presented here in an unbiased context that allows the
reader freedom of association and interpretation. This type of
reference is an important tool for anyone who uses set-class
analysis in coursework, or independent thesis research. This book
is intended to help verify musical intuition and has an immediate
practical application for composers and theorists curious about
intervallic properties and transformational potentials of any
pitch-class set. It can provide supplemental material for
coursework involving theory, analysis, and stylistic awareness of
compositional or analytical styles, and also for learning and
confirming economical presentations characteristic of recent
music-theoretical literature. Organized in two parts, the first is
a profile of all set-classes in charts allowing quick comparisons
among them, including set-class reference tables, set-classes
arranged by ascending interval-class vectors, and a summary of
transformational invariances. The second part focuses on individual
set-classes, listing its contents, subsets, and significant
references to the collection in musical or theoretical literature.
Internal segmentations of each set-class that are more structurally
informative and memorizable than prime-forms are offered. Three
appendices, an extensive bibliography, an index of selected
analytical viewpoint and styles, and an index of terms are also
included.
